 >:( by now the tips had enough time for the epoxie i used to set so i went to check how they looked >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( one of them looked like it wasn't on all the way, so i looked and sure enough, for some reason is scooted down around an eighth of an inch, luckily it wasn't completely dry so i could pull it off but this means i have to clean the tip, get out the epoxy and re epoxy it. i was really looking forward to bracing it tomorrow but it looks like that may not happen

ok, sorry for the delay, but hear in order is the top nock, bottom and most of the bow in comparison to an 8ft fishing rod i jsut recently completed( pats self on back ::))
i stilll havent strung it yet becasue i am a little nervous stringing for a first time ;) but once i do ill show
by the way would a maple backed oak combo work for a d belly warbow of around 80lbs, my brother wants to get back into archery and im going to build him one
thanks for looking

i wish, right now its just a string made of nylon thread i have, it usually works well but i think once i get a little money ill get some D97, looks pretty good and allot cheaper than ff, just wish basspro sold it, i have 75 in gift cards
thanks

Nylon stretches way too much to be used as a bow string. Especially on a warbow. I use B-50 for my bows and used it for the last warbow I built and it stretched a lot before it settled in. I'd suggest trying to get a better material than nylon. A spool of B-50 shouldn't run you more than 10 bucks and just go with a few more strands.

ya, im realizing the amount of stretch with this bow, which would be better, D97 or B50
thanks

B50 isn't a warbow string, you need FF depends on the weight as to how many strands 18/20 normally
a 2nd option would be d75 but I don't know how much that costs.

Noel have you tillered the bow to full draw? The reason I ask is because you said once you get some weight off you will get it stringed and give the full draw? How are you trying to string the bow?. Did I miss tillering after you got the bow on a short string? Or are you still trying to get it on the short string for tillering? Sorry I was just confused I thought maybe I missed something or part of the build ???

don't worry you didn't miss something, when i said i was going to do those things i didn't mean all at once, i am going to take some weight off, tiller on a short string then hopefully get the full draw pics. the way i am stringing is by the double nocks i carved into the horn
sorry for the confusion
